Dubai Congress to reveal compelling evidence of EMR phone damage to children

Increased mobile phone usage, especially amongst the young, could lead to an epidemic of brain cancers potentially affecting more than 400 million people, according to a study to be released at the Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine (DCAAAM).

Delegates to the Congress – to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from November 8-9 – will hear the latest finding on mobile phone usage and the effects of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) from expert Dr Howard Fisher, author of three books on the subject and Scientific Advisor to several governments about the issue.

With more than 4.3 billion global mobile users, including 7.2 million in the UAE (according to telecom provider Etisalat), worldwide studies indicate palpable evidence to suggest that EMR affects hormonal secretions and brain activity and are linked to condtions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, various cancers, reproductive difficulties and miscarriage.

Fisher, who is also on the Scientific Committee of DCAAAM, adds: “The overriding evidence shows the huge threat that EMR poses to our health. There have been over 100,000 papers written on the issue and the Interphone Study started in 2000 has still not released its findings because of conflicts.”.

For more than 10 years researchers have been aware of EMR penetration into the brain, which is far worse for a child, potentially leading to brain tumours and childhood leukaemia, as well as evidence to show it may lead to disorders such as ADD, ADHD and autism.

“September 2009 saw the US Senate hosting a major conference on the subject whilst the French government is stepping up its efforts to limit the use of cell phones by children,” says  Fisher. “The city of Lyon posted billboards urging parents not to allow children under the age of 12 to use cellphones due to the possible effects of exposure to electromagnetic radiation.”

Global experts agree. Professor Bruce Armstrong University of Sydney School of public health commented:  “I think the evidence that is accumulating is pointing towards an effect of mobile phones on tumors. I would not want to be a heavy user of a mobile phone.”

Dr V G Khurana, noted neurosurgeon on faculty at two major Australian universities: “There is a significant and increasing body of evidence – at least  eight comprehensive clinical studies internationally – for a link between mobile phones and the life ending diagnosis of brain cancer.”

“All is not lost,” says Fisher, “there are effective interventions that will minimise or eliminate the EMR effects but awareness is critical.”

The 2^nd Dubai Congress on Anti-Ageing and Aesthetic Medicine (DCAAAM) is the only event in the Middle East organised and endorsed by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and delegates can gain up to 21 CME credits. Being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from November 8-9, it will be showcasing the latest technological breakthroughs in anti-aging from around the world. Exhibitors and medical speakers will meet to expand their grasp of the latest biomedical advancements and technologies, both current and emerging, to help improve the healthy human lifespan.

The Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine is supported by the Ministry of Health UAE and the Department of Health and Medical Services. This event attracted more than 1,200 healthcare professionals from over 50 countries in 2008 and is attended by leaders in the spa industry and aesthetic medicine.

Event platinum sponsor is Bader Sultan; gold sponsors are Promoitalia, Pharmapal and Golden Key Solutions; silver sponsors are Cosmesurge and Joz Group.

Breast Cancer Afflicting More Younger Women

by Asma Ali Zain (Khaleej Times)

5 October 2009 DUBAI — Increasing numbers of young women are being detected with breast cancer, debunking earlier findings that women above 45 were more prone to the disease, say health officials.

Women as young as 20 and 30 have been treated at the Breast Clinic at Rashid Hospital while 25 per cent of the 200 operations done at the clinic last year were also due to cancer.

“This is a significant percentage. Previously women in their 40s and above were affected; unfortunately over the past few years we are finding an increasing number of women in their early 30s who have this disease,” said Dr Moza Al Hattawi, senior health officer and member of the breast diagnosis team at the hospital.

“A few patients in their 20s have also been diagnosed,” she adds.

Contrary to facts that earlier placed UAE national women on top of the list for breast cancer in the country, an increasing number of young Filipinas are being discovered with the disease,
doctors said.

“We don’t know why this is happening. Probably this population is increasing in the country,” said Dr Zaid Al Mazam, consultant and in-charge of the Breast Unit at the hospital.

Being a woman is reason enough to have breast cancer, says Al Hattawi. “But it is also a known fact that early detection can save lives and help reduce the number of women who succumb to this disease,” she adds.

Doctors at the clinic see up to 40 patients with breast diseases thrice a week. It also offers free screening for patients who cannot afford treatment. Last year, Dh80,000 was raised
through charity.

“Up to Dh5,000 is required for a surgery and this excludes radiation and chemotherapy,” says Dr Al Mazam.

“We need more so that many people can be treated,” he added.

A week-long awareness educational campaign has been launched by Qadhi Saeed Al Murooshid, Director General of Dubai Health Authority.

A team of doctors will visit Dubai Festival City on October 9 and at the Mall of the Emirates on October 10
for this purpose.

Rejuvenation therapies top US$1bn mark in global trend

Spas are undergoing a transformation, according to the Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine (DCAAAM), with economics compelling many spa owners to re-think their strategies.

With increasing competition, spas need to look at rejuvenating themselves – not just as a luxury for customers – but as a medicinal necessity.

According to Intelligent Spas latest Dubai Benchmark Report this July, more than 60 spas are currently operating in the emirate and generating revenue of approximately $87 million.

It adds that spa numbers in Dubai are forecast to grow 17.7 percent by the end of 2009 but revenue is predicted to fall by more than 50 percent before a recovery in 2010.

To assist the recovery, spas are being urged to focus on preventative health and wellness. According to industry sources, spa opportunities lie in a collaborative future with the health and medical industries.

To address this issue, the second Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine (DCAAAM) – to be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 8-9 November – is dedicating a full day to a certified Medical Spa Operations Workshop. This will be held in collaboration with international expert Manon Pilon, medical spa consultant, International speaker and Director of Education for Derme.ca in Canada.

Medical spas offer a range of therapies under the supervision of trained medical personnel but in the surroundings of a relaxed environment. The medi-spa industry in the US saw sales exceed one billion dollars in 2006, a significant increase from $450 million in 2004.

The special workshop will take place on Saturday November 7 and will cover all aspects from concepts and design, defining medical and spa services, selecting the right equipment, to hiring the right team, how to manage and market the spa and incorporating retail strategies. A roundtable discussion in the afternoon will provide an opportunity for delegates to network with experts from the spa industry.

Says Pilon: “Since 1996 we have seen an amazing growth in medical spas. The most profitable services include injectibles such as Botox and fillers, Intense Pulse Light therapy (IPL) for skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal and the retail of skincare products.  It’s a return to the original spa concept as a centre of wellbeing and rejuvenation not just relaxation.”

The Dubai Congress on Anti-Aging and Aesthetic Medicine will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 8-9 November 2009. Supported by the Ministry of Health UAE and the Department of Health and Medical Services, this event attracted more than 1,200 healthcare professionals from over 50 countries in 2008 and is attended by leaders in the spa industry and aesthetic medicine.

Event platinum sponsor is Bader Sultan; gold sponsors are Promoitalia, Pharmapal and Golden Key Solutions; silver sponsors are Cosmesurge and Joz Group.

DCAAAM is held in association with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), which has a membership of more than 20,000 physicians and scientists from 90 countries and has pioneered the establishment of anti-aging medicine as a recognised medical speciality.
